1. Opening Speech by Prof. Dr. Georg Milbradt, former Prime Minister of Saxony (May 28th, 2012)
Dear Prof. Vogt! Dear colleagues, dear students! Ladies and gentlemen!
It is a great pleasure for me to celebrate with you 15 years of the European Network of Culture and Management. It was an excellent idea of the university and especially of you, dear Prof. Vogt, to introduce courses in culture and management here in Görlitz at the border of Germany and Poland, in the centre of Europe, and to organize this conference.
Our old continent is growing together, the fall of the iron curtain and the accession of our eastern and south-eastern neighbours to the EU have given us a new momentum and the chance to overcome the division and to build a united Europe, a vision our forefathers dreamed of.
Primarily this process is still driven by economic forces. The flow of goods, capital, services, and partially labour has grown considerably. But Europe is more than economy and commercial exchange. We must build our future not only on our economic self-interest, but also on the solid ground of our common European cultural heritage, on our shared values and on intellectual exchange of idea and views. You can feel this new European spirit here in Görlitz and Zgorzelec, a city with a very varied history, with extreme highs and lows.
The motto of the EU is not as in the USA “e pluribus unum” – “Out of Many, One”, but “in varietate concordia” – “In Diversity United”. On the one hand we Europeans are diverse; we have different languages, customs, and cultures, and are proud of them. These are valuable treasures. On the other hand the common heritage and permanent cultural exchange unite us. Culture is a strong glue which can hold our continent together, especially in the time of economic or political crises.
Therefore I am very pleased that the organizers have prepared such an attractive programme which fits this objective so perfectly. The number of participants, scholars and students underlines my observation.
I wish all of you a pleasant stay in Görlitz and an interesting week with new insights and encounters, and last not least, a stimulating concert and a nice evening.

2. Dedication – Holistic approach – Liberty After Congress Letter by Prof. Irena Alperyte, Vilnius Academy of Arts (June 5th, 2012)
Dear Professor Vogt,
It is my great pleasure to write this thank you letter and express my deepest admiration towards the International Week in Gorlitz that you organized during May 28 - June 2, 2012.
The topic has been of an absolute importance and relevance to us, and we want to thank you on the behalf of the UNESCO chair for cultural management and cultural policy for being involved and therefore, made our own research examining current trends in brain gain versus brain drain situation in our own country.
I personally enjoyed the artistic programme, and had a great time spending evenings in the Apollo theatre or Klingewalde. However, to me the most exciting was the educational/managerial part. What was the most striking to me? The corporate spirit of your programme! Although the schedule was really tight and full of events, your younger helpers, the students, carried out all the task with adequate diligence, tactfulness and I would say, delicacy.
When summing up our possibilities for future cooperation, I would emphasize the set of certain traits that would go under the DHL abbreviation. D would represent „dedication“of your students and staff, and eagerness to always give a hand when it is needed. H would stand for holistic approach, meaning that everything that you do goes in harmony with nature, culture and ethics. I love the creative atmosphere that glides just liberalism over Klingewalde. Finally, L can mean liberty in its broader interpretation: not just mere liberalism. By Liberty I mean one‘s ability to be creative and to go after your dream to the point where it brings you.
I would also like to thank you wonderful family for the nice reception and being there.
Concluding what I just said, I would once again wish to thank you for the fruitfull week, and the lesson of the civic society, the contours of which we could see within your projects framework.‘
Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to our common projects, I remain Sincerely yours,
Irena Alperyte Assoc Prof. Vilnius Academy of Arts 15 years European Network Culture and Management
3. A Polish Students’ View on Let’s go Europe – International Study Week in Görlitz. Róża Różańska, studentka P. prof. M. Th. Vogta, członek polskiej Delegacji, referentka
Dlaczego trzeba pracować nad polityką kulturalną? Czy można metodami edukacyjnymi zmienić mentalność społeczeństwa? Jak zapobiec migracji młodych wykształconych ludzi z mniejszych miejscowości do metropolii? Jubileuszowa konferencja 15-sto lecia Europejskiej Sieci centrów Zarządzania Kulturą zorganizowana przez profesora dra hab. Matthiasa Theodora Vogta, wykładowcę polityki kulturalnej Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz umożliwiła podjęcie próby odpowiedzi na te pytania. W dniach 28 maja do 2 czerwca wykładowcy i studenci z Polski, Słowacji, Litwy, Włoch, Francji, Węgier, a także Gruzji, Mongolii i Japonii przybyli do Görlitz. Przygraniczne miasto słynie z doskonale zachowanej starówki i jest uznawane za najpiękniejsze w Niemczech.
W 1997 roku Profesor Vogt wraz z kilkoma specjalistami rozpoczął proces międzynarodowej współpracy pomiędzy uczelniami chcącymi wprowadzić zarządzanie kulturą do swojej oferty studiów. Dziś European Network Culture and Management in progress liczy 21 ośrodków naukowych, lecz Profesor Vogt pragnie nadal rozwijać swoje działo. Pan Profesor od lat jest wiernie oddany szczytnym celom krzewienia wiedzy o kulturze i podnoszenia świadomości społeczeństwa w tym zakresie. Wszechstronnie wykształcony naukowiec jest muzykologiem, germanistą, filozofem i historykiem kultury. W latach 90-tych założył w odrestaurowanym dzięki jego staraniom dworze w Klingewalde Institut für Kulturelle Sachsen, który z czasem został wcielony w struktury Hochschule Zittau/ Görlitz.
Program zjazdu podzielono między akademickie debaty (Brain gain through Culture) oraz koncerty młodych muzyków ponieważ wydarzeniu towarzyszyła druga odsłona projektu Nature meets Music, polegającego na współpracy między muzykami a specjalistami zajmującymi się nauką ścisłą. http://kultur.org/images/plakat.pdf. Wszystkich zainteresowanych muzycznymi szczegółami zapraszam do przeczytania recenzji na stronie portalu Polska Muza: http://polskamuza.eu/wywiady.php?id=591. Ponadto dla delegatów przygotowano interesujące wykłady (m.in. o znanym filozofie i mistyku Jakubie Böhme, mieszkającym w Görlitz). Przybyli goście dyskutowali o „drenażu mózgów” dla przyszłości europejskiej polityki kulturalnej, starając się wspólnie obrać najkorzystniejsze kierunki zmian dla sektora kultury i nauki, a tym samym zapobiec polaryzacji w społeczeństwach na kręgi obeznane z kulturą i nie mające o niej pojęcia. Referenci przedstawili badania obrazujące skalę i wielkość migracji młodych elit do miast oraz stan wiedzy o kulturze w ró żnych krajach. Wyniki nie napawają optymizmem, ale tylko od nas samych zależą przyszłe rezultaty postrzegania i roli kultury w Europie. Dziękujemy Panie Profesorze i życzymy „sto lat” temu projektowi!

7. Program A: Brain Gain through Culture?
Can art and culture convince young professional elites to stay, to return, or to resettle in medium sized cities with a population ranging from 20,000 to 99,000 inhabitants? Which definition of art and culture has to be applied to develop an adequate cultural policy?
History shows that artistically initiated interactions between individuals and groups of people are among the most formative dimensions of human endeavour and social change. Cultural Encounters such as theatre gatherings, vernissages, readings and similar forms of performative and representational arts can be said to have been constitutive for local and national communities for a long period of European history despite all regional differences. What is the role of the Muses for human endeavour and social change in a widely neglected type of community?
Within the framework of the European Network Culture and Management founded in 1997, the Institut für kulturelle Infrastruktur Sachsen, the Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz, the Jagiellonian University Kraków, the Università degli Studi del Sannio at Benevent, the Vilnius Art Academy, the Tbilisi State University, and others, have started a research project to identify the factors which play a role for attracting to or keeping young functional elites in medium sized cities. Following the outcome, strategies should be developed to fight the brain drain within medium sized cities.
The social problem behind
At present, almost all European countries are threatened by three effects of demographic change. The fertility ratio is negative especially with highly trained women; the young elites flee the periphery; the social processes in non-metropolitan areas tend to collapse. These tendencies are especially dramatical in middle size cities (20.000 – 99.000 inhabitants) which traditionally serve as meso-centres for the surrounding small size cities and rural areas. Who among the Peers reviewing this proposal might work in a middle size city? Probably none, since the vast majority of humanistic universities and research institutes is located in metropolitan cities (more than 500.000) or major cities (100.000 – 499.000 inhabitants).
One of the problems of cultural policy within parliamentary democratic systems (in this respect similar to monarchic ones) is that it tends to aggravate the peripetal tendencies sustaining the brain gain towards its political and economic centres. In Saxony ex. g., metropolitan cities will benefit from a positive weighting of inhabitants when receiving their basic funding from the state. This surplus is one to 1.52 comparing what the other cities receive (1,296 EUR per head per year go to metropolitan cities; 849 EUR to non-metropolitan cities; this equals to 131% resp. 86% of the average). 15 years European Network Culture and Management

This additional money allows metropolitan cities to gain attractivity by financing additional cultural institutions or projects. Within a different system (the all-federal vertical equalisation arrangement) the same is true at federal level, too: the three Berlin state opera houses or those projects which make Berlin the meeting point of Iceland’s or Poland’s artistic elites, are financed entirely either by the länder Hessen, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria or by the national government – high value at no local costs for the nation’s pride, at the disadvantage of others. Behind this policy is a strong economic theory, the theory of critical mass as the smallest amount of material needed for a sustained reaction. Such an economy of scales has not been questioned yet for an application within the esthetic field which is based on the output of individuals not of machines; the cultural history shows in the contrary a certain advantage of non-central production, the list of UNESCO world heritage monuments is a clear device.
Within the cultural policy system, the weighting of inhabitants is even sharper. At Saxony p.ex. the relation is one to seven comparing the fundings of the metropolitan with those of the extra-metropolitan cities by the Cultural State Foundation of Saxony 2007 – 2011. It goes without saying that what makes metropolitan cities attractive for young urban professionals is not exactly counterbalanced by such a funding philosophy. Cultural encounter institutions such as humanistic universities need a certain type of surrounding. Thanks to the allocation system of arts funding within national policies, brain drain away from the peripheries is even bolstered. “Provinciality” in the meaning “lack of cultural encounters” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The non-fame of non-metropolitan cities has severe impacts on population development. In the first six months of 2011, Saxonian metropolitan cities grew for 0.4% which is approximately 1% a year, whereas middle size cities shrank for the same quantity and rural areas for nearly 2% a year.

But this is only the quantitative side of the problem. On the qualitative side, we see a youth surplus (cohorts 20-35 years) of 50% in metropolitan cities compared to middle size cities, and we can observe an academics surplus of 100%.

The chance for young women and men to find a partner within the same social sphere – the marriage market – is three times better per capita at metropolitan areas. Taking in additional account the mere size and population density it seems to be infinite higher but this is not automatically true since people tend to live mentally and physically within local districts similar to the population number of middle size cities (in British English “neighbourhood”, in American colloquial “hood”, in Berlin dialect “Kiez”). Probably the most quoted hood within the intelligentsia is Manhattan Greenwich Village with mere 72.000 inhabitants at West Village and 50.000 at East Village. 1 It is just “45 buildings that comprise the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension”2 (which is hard to believe seen from a European city such as Kraków, Turku, and London or from Görlitz with its 4.000 monuments, a hundred time more per capita than Greenwich Village).
This mental smallness, one has to bear in mind when reading Richard Florida’s Cities and the Creative Class (2002), with its famous decription of a cultural encounters policy. For a city to attract the Creative Class, he argues, it must possess "the three 'T's": Talent (a highly talented/educated/skilled population), Tolerance (a diverse community, which has a 'live and let live' ethos), and Technology (the technological infrastructure necessary to fuel an entrepreneurial culture). So what about a cultural encounters policy for middle size cities with their clear need of Brain Gain? Killing the middle size cities as the Hungarian government does will be on a long run fatal for the metropolitan areas, too, since a body or a country can only develop well when all parts are in health.
It is a major task for humanistic research to analyze the mental causes of this Brain Drain process, and to analyze critically possible remedies to reshape the mental status of middle size cities among young academics.
1 “West Village is everything west of Sixth Avenue, from Houston to 14th street. Essentially, the West Village is the original Greenwich Village. The need for the modifier ("West") is a relatively new thing resulting from the emergence of the Eastern counterpart, the East Village. […] The East Village, in its modern definition, means everything east of Astor Place, south of 14th street and north of Houston Street. People used to make a distinction between the East Village and the Alphabet City (avenues A,B,C and D), but that practice is almost extinct now (thanks to the booming real estate market).” Cf. http://www.nybits.com/manhattan/west_village/ [2012-05-01]

The changing of cultural paradigmata
Traditional cultural encounter forms have lost attractiveness for the young functional elites. New media and the changing form of participation in culture have led to modifications in the way culture functions.
Senders of culture have to be aware that providing aesthetic impressions and an educational component is not more enough for building community and relationships between the sender and the recipient of culture. The growing wish to participate in creating and commenting culture, needs integration of the public into the planning, conducting and evaluating of cultural events. Such an approach, which has its origin in the idea of civil society, in spite of legitimate objectives often lacks precision and clear semantic transfer. Therefore, based on the observation of the relationship between cultural institutions and customers, providers and beneficiaries of meanings, ideas and values, it can be concluded that the key factor in the exchange of expectations and aspirations of both parties is the approach to determine the mission of institutions and initiatives active in the field of culture and arts. The notion of cultural encounters needs to be re-defined on a post-national pattern.
The need of re-definition is especially true for middle size cities which for a number of decades are victims of brain drain. The project is therefore concentrating on the situation in middle size cities of selected European countries. It will analyze the approach to young functional elites to cultural encounters and mirror this to the exploration, development and execution of the mission in the field of performing and representational arts. How does this reflect culture and its players?
Various approaches to participation (in the context of the participant's culture – as both sender and receiver) are based on history, geography and socio-economic situation. Taking into account the above-mentioned assumptions, several stages of the study will be conducted at three levels: perspective of the citizen (recipient), perspective of the cultural actors (sender), and perspective of the achievement of an artistic effect. The goal is a comparative analysis, which will demonstrate different models and evaluate their functioning.
The Görlitz conference
At the Görlitz conference May 2012, Master and PhD students from Poland, France, Lithuania and Germany, as well as scholars from Italy, Poland, Mongolia, Japan and Germany presented findings about their local research in a number of Middle Size Cities. The proceedings to be printed in the second half of 2012, will be a start up of a larger scale research project within the European Network Culture and Management.

8. Program B: Nature meets Music
Neue Musik is nothing new at cinema and televison – everybody knows how post- traditional music sounds, be it computer generated or be it written for a traditional ensemble. But within concert programs, Neue Musik is hard to find. May be, the affinity between Natur and Music may help to senzibilize for the sounding of Neue Musik.
This is, why the students „Culture and Management Görlitz“ invited composers, biologists and instrumentalists to speak about Nature and its sounds, but also about the nature of musical sounds. The first such laboratory was organized in October 2011, with Roberto Fabbriciani, Florence, and others. The students liked the research week with its concerts and lectures that much, that the urged their professors to repeat the experience on an ever bigger scale.
Composers present at the second edition of “Nature meets Music” were:
. Christian Diemer. Leipzig . Piotr Peszat, Kraków . Katarzyna Krzewińska, Kraków Thanks to the generous support of the rector of the Zittau/Görlitz university it was possible to invite the Ensemble Marges, Weimar, for the week:
. Kristiina Kostrokina VIOLIN
. Michael Möstl CLARINET
. Leon Szostakowski VIOLONCELLO
. Samuel Klemke GUITAR
. Antonino Secchia PERCUSSION In the centre of the week were lectures by eminent biologist:
. Silke Kipper, Professor of Bio Communication and Behaviour, Freie Universität zu Berlin . Sebastian Merchel, chair of Communications Acoustics, Technische Universität Dresden . Dr. Gunter Ziegenhals, Institut für Musikinstrumentenbau Zwota an der TU Dresden . Martin Päckert, chief curator of birds, Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden . Dr. Willi Xylander Director, Senckenberg Museum für Naturkunde Görlitz Within the week, two world-premieres werde rehearsed and performed, both articulating natural sounds within a musical logic:
. Katarzyna Krzewiñska: karma kram . Piotr Peszat: Białoczub polski (Polish Chicken) 15 years European Network Culture and Management
9. Program C: Internationalization Strategies
The Bologna Process was intended to facilitate international movement of students and scholars. Reality shows that the formalization of courses based now on a strict curriculum, in the contrary even hinders such movements – instead of gaining abroad 30 credit points (equivalent to 900 hours or half a year work load) as a part of their duties to their home university, many Erasmus students have to switch between exams at their home university and exams at their guest university. It is rather rare to find a curriculum with a fixed obligation to study abroad at a country with a different language but with open modules, as it is the case at the course Culture and Management at Görlitz University. The Bologna system is brought to absurdity within the Polish system. Students tend to study two or more courses at the same time, which means they do not study even one to the depth but gaining full credits for half work. At Jagiellonian university, a certain student in the academic year 2011/12 gained 80 cp in his first course, 110 cp at his second course and 72 cp at his third course. This did total to 262 credit points within one academic year (equivalent to 7.860 hours of work a year or 2.4 hours of sleeping and leisure a day). Language is a severe problem, too. Since, within the academic world, English is used by mostly non mother tongue speakers, a sort of bafflegab has been developed at administration levels, a sort of Basic English at students’ levels. Universities react to missing language competences by creating English language ghettos for Erasmus students only which study without contact to local students, perverting the Bologna idea. Local scholars, on their hand, seldom dare to use English within their lectures, due to missing language courses for teachers. Generally, one can observe a huge difference between research institutes on the one hand, mostly open for international applications, and universities based on a national application scheme. The perseverance of national juridical regulations is not to be underestimated. A European Network such as the Network Culture and Management has to deal with these problems. This is why the students and scholars of the course Culture and Management at Görlitz University invited (a) students from abroad to live for a week at Görlitz and to bring with them own research findings for a public discussion, (b) scholars from abroad and from their own university to teach in Russian, Japanese, Italian, Hungarian, or Mongolian language [an idea which was brought soon down to earth by using English and German languages, only], (c) to discuss internationalization strategies within the network.
